Used to be great
CEO knows what he's doing, business-wise.
Support for remote work (WFH for locals, fully remote for select positions).
Lots of growth and associated pain.
Current management has a very top-down mentality, dictating stuff that should be left to teams and treating team members as fungible commodities they can just move around on a chessboard.
Trying to save money by focusing on very junior hires and hiring in places like Estonia and India (moratorium on US hiring).
Focus on junior devs means senior devs have to spend all their time mentoring and aren't able to be Individual Contributors, which is unsatisfying for many and leads to pretty crappy code.
Hire senior people who know how to get stuff done, and then let them decide how to do it.
